Hannes' Cliff WIPs

[mhaze]

Top Notch!

[bobbystahr]

What Ulco said, fortunately I am entering to see if I could do a finally credible cliff but am not firmly enough grounded in reality it seems so have no real hope of getting above an honourable mention heh heh...So in conclusion I cry "Uncle".

Looks fantastic. Brilliant job. A real oasis.

Nice to watch this one progress Hannes, very nice work

[Hannes]

Thanks guys! This is really encouraging.

Two thumbs up!!

I hope at some time you will give us even mini viewpoints of this entry. As with all of your images (except that spider) we want to see what is around the bend.

Excellent light and athmosphere!

[Hannes]

Thanks again!! Just submitted my entry. Slightly processed image plus raw TG output (which I converted from TIFF to JPG to make the file smaller).
Now I'm looking forward to see, what other contestants have done. Waiting...

Wait, wasn't there a VR challenge as well long time ago?

[j meyer]

Great image man. All thumbs up.

[SILENCER]

I've seen some really great work during this contest.
Your image is my favourite.
Lush, surreal, but the surreal nature doesn't pull you out of it.
Let's say plausibly surreal.
Bad ass.
You deserve a whiskey

OK, another final one 
Took a bit longer to render, because I used higher GI settings, since this is supposed to be the final one (did I mention that already?

I love all the little details and your waterfall treatment is first class. Hope you render a bigger version ?

[Hannes]

You deserve a whiskey

Great idea!! 

Hope you render a bigger version ?

I rendered it in 3K originally. I usually render at larger scale and resize it for the final one.

So you make a big render and make it smaller? Hmm...can I ask why? Looks better?

[Hannes]

Like this you get some extra sort of anti aliasing. Maybe you could get similar results by using very high quality settings in your desired final resolution, but I made the experience, that this is sometimes slower.
Apart from that I like to explore the image in hi res and see all the details, that might get lost when the image is smaller.
